Description

This is a combination turntable/AM-FM stereo console. It has its original cord.

The radio has "Automatic Frequency Control" and "Filteramic Antenna." It operates via  knobs controlling band selection, AM, FM, reverb, and balance.

There is a storage space, presumably for LPs, in between the radio and turntable portions of the console.

Upon cursory check,  the turntable worked and the radio drew in static. Music was audible from the LP, but not through its speakers. The turntable options, via manual knob selection are: On ond Off, and 16, 33, 45a, and 78 rpm speeds.

Further functioning has not been tested yet.

There is some surface water damage of the finish on the top along with some chipping of the veneer at that location.  There are other minor dings and scratches of the surface. 

The front of the console is decorated with spindle-style woodwork over oval-patterned fabric.

Please Note: The color of this console may appear more "reddish" than it actually is due to a cast erroneously added by the program this computer uses to save edited photographs. The most accurate color is found around the color picture of the Victrola grammophone and dog .
